Fun games are enjoyable. Thanks for the penetrating insight.

I'm still working on the difference between "players feel they are engaged""players feel they affect the course of the game" and "players make meaningful decisions."

Or, for that matter, between "awards correct tactics" and "reasonable results that mimic actual combat."

For polls on movies, books and songs, (almost) every nomination is a unique item. For this sort of poll, a little judicious consolidation of the nominations might be in order.

Personally, I feel player engagement is the consequence of some of the other factors, so I voted for those.
